Cells
All living things are composed of one or more of these
Cells
When molecules move from high concentration to lower concentration
Diffusion
These are the 3 main parts of a cell
Cytoplasm
Organelles
Nucleus
The smallest and most numerous organelle made of proteins and RNA. Functions in protein synthesis. Float freely in the cytoplasm, or are attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Ribosomes
Process by which an autotroph uses energy from the sun and converts it to stored chemical energy.
Photosynthesis
This is the basic unit of organization in all organisms
Cell
The random movement of particles in a fluid
Brownian motion
This is the fluid that fills the space of the cell and contains the cytoskeleton
Cytoplasm
Can be rough (when ribosomes are attached) and helps in making proteins. Can be smooth and makes lipids.
Endoplasmic reticulum
These are the required for photosynthesis to occur.
Sunlight
Air
Water
This is where cells come from
Existing cells
This type of transport does NOT require energy
Passive transport
These are the "little organs" that interact with each other to keep the cell running
Organelles
This is the shipping center of the cell
Golgi apparatus
These are the two phases of photosynthesis
Light dependent phase
Calvin Cycle
Groups of cells connected together to carry out a specific function
A tissue
This type of transport moves molecules from lower concentration to higher concentration and requires energy.
Active transport
examples: transport proteins, endocytosis, exocytosis
This is the control center of the cell
Nucleus
This is the power plant of the cell, provides energy to the cell through cellular respiration
Mitochondria
A green pigment responsible for absorbing light, found in clusters in the thylakoid membrane.
Chlorophyll
What are the 3 tenets of MODERN cell theroy
Cells use and transfer energy
Hereditary information is passed from cell to cell
All cells have the same basic chemical composition
These are the factors that affect the rate of diffusion
Temperature
Concentration
Size of molecules
A network of fibers that gives the cell its shpe
Cytoskeleton
Organelle found only in plants that provide energy through photosynthesis
Chloroplasts
Specialized discs inside chloroplasts
Thylakoids
